Histoire Romaine LIvre XXVII

Histoire Romaine: Livres Xxvi à Xxx

Livy (Titus Livius), the great Roman historian, was born at or near Patavium (Padua) in 64 or 59 BCE; he may have lived mostly in Rome but died at Patavium, in 12 or 17 CE.Livy's only extant work is part of his history of Rome from the foundation of the city to 9 BCE. Of its 142 books, we have just 35, and short summaries of all the rest except two. The whole work was, long after his death, divided into Decades or series of ten. Books 1-10 we have entire; books 11-20 are lost; books 21-45 are entire, except parts of 41 and 43-45. Of the rest only fragments and the summaries remain. In splendid style Livy, a man of wide sympathies and proud of Rome's past, presented an uncritical but clear and living narrative of the rise of Rome to greatness.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Livy is in fourteen volumes. The last volume includes a comprehensive index.

Histoire Romaine: Livre VIII

It contains a literary and historical introduction and a vocabulary. The notes offer discussion of historical and linguistic points of significance, and each section ends with a summary paragraph that concerns language, matters of history, and composition

Histoire romaine : Livre V

'You know how to win a battle, Hannibal; you do not know how to use the victory!' Livy's great history of Rome contains, in Books 21 to 30, the definitive ancient account of Hannibal's invasion of Italy in 218 BC, and the war he fought with the Romans over the following sixteen years. Livy describes the bloody siege of the Spanish city of Saguntum, Rome's ally, which sparked the war, and the Carthaginian leader's famous march with elephants over the Alps into Italy. Livy's gripping story-telling vividly conveys the drama of the great battles, the disastrous encounters at Trasimene and Cannae, and the final confrontation between Hannibal and the youthful Scipio Africanus. Individuals as well as events are brought powerfully to life, as the long course of the Second Punic War unfolds. This new translation captures the brilliance of Livy's style, and is accompanied by a fascinating introduction and notes.

Histoire Romaine: Livres Xxi à Xxv

Histoire romaine, livres VI à X, la conquête de l'Italie

Rome a été fondée par Romulus en 753 avant J.-C. Les dieux qui ont présidé à sa naissance garantissent à la ville un destin exceptionnel. La tyrannie d'un Tarquin, l'ambition des tribuns, l'orgueil des praticiens et l'incompétence de certains généraux contrarieront parfois, mais n'entraveront jamais sa marche triomphante. C'est, du reste, cette foi inaltérable en la grandeur de Rome qui donne à la poignée de romains réfugiés au Capitole la force de supporter le spectacle humiliant de leur ville incendiée par les Gaulois. Les envahisseurs qui pénètrent sans coup férir dans la ville désertée parviendront-ils à ruiner les efforts soutenus des romains pour agrandir et embellir leur ville, pour se doter d'une constitution et de lois écrites, pour enfin, dominer le latium et résister à la pression du danger étrusque ?
